Description
The American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy Foundation supports research into the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of otolaryngic allergy. The award aims to generate new knowledge that improves understanding of allergic conditions and patient care. It supports basic and translational research, with proposals required to have a primary allergy endpoint or substantial importance to the AAOA.
The Foundation emphasizes carefully designed, feasible studies of allergic pathophysiology or conditions. Its research goals include mobilizing investigators and academic programs, reducing barriers to research participation, and encouraging collaboration with otolaryngology training programs. Residents and medical students are encouraged to participate, helping develop interest in improving allergy diagnosis and therapeutic options.
